Just thought I would let you know Alex went in to school today. On the way he listened to a Charles Linden relaxation CD. Don't know if it is just a coincidence, but he is in school!! It was a visualisation CD which there are lots of out there I think, not just by the Linden method. His head of year is setting up a meeting with the EWO for after half term. I am hoping that when she meets me she will realise the effort that Alex and I have been making to get him into school.

Well done to you both and keep listening to Charles !!

Well done to you both.
Would you recommend the Linden method overall or do you think many of the visualisation CDs might work?
Linda

I wouldn't say I would recommend the Linden method overall. Alex was really down this morning and didn't want to listen to a CD in the car today, but as we were driving along he was becoming more and more anxious so I just put the CD in and although it didn't have as much an effect as yesterday and he was still anxious at the school gates, he did go in. So I think maybe any relaxation CD might help, but it is also about whether they are in the mood to be receptive to it. I will keep them in the car and I think some days they may work and others not. Sorry I can't be of much more help.
